Ross Wilton Weir – 77, Harmony. It is with great sadness that the family of Ross Weir announce that he passed away on Wednesday morning, September 9, 2015, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro, after a short illness. Born March 2, 1938, in Nine Mile River, he was a son of the late Brenton and Ruby (Burris) Weir.

Ross was a great story teller and loved sharing jokes with family and friends. He worked as a carpenter for 26 years until he went to work for Nova Scotia Department of Housing as a building inspector; he retired in 1996 after 34 years of service. Ross enjoyed carpentry and helped many friends and family with projects and renovations over the years; he had a special fondness for woodworking. He loved to play cards and looked forward to the weekly card parties he attended.

Ross is survived by his children, Tami (Edward) Milligan, Brooklyn, Hants County; Kathy (Randy) Putnam, Streamstown, Alberta; Wendy (Russell) Boutilier, Upper Stewiacke; Elvin (Mary Jo) Weir, Blacklick, Ohio; Patti Weir, Truro; grandchildren, Sarah, Samantha, Brandi, Jenifer, Christopher, Michelle, Becky, Meaghan; 12 great grandchildren; brother, Frank (Myrna) Weir, Crowes Mills; sisters, Treva Thompson, Lantz; Helen Chute, Annapolis Valley. Ross had a special angel, Beth Latinski, with whom he shared a loving relationship for the last year and a half of his life and Ross’ family would like to give a warm thank you to her; she is a special lady. Along with his parents, Ross was predeceased by his loving wife of 49 years, Patricia Ruth (Sullivan) Weir, and Helen Paulette (Spence) Weir, his second wife of five years, who he was lucky and won her heart; granddaughter, Melissa Boutilier; brothers, Charles, Roy, Douglas, Lawrence and Carl Weir; sisters, Ada Withrow, Jessie Grant, Lorna Rath.
